The Cincinnati Reds had a golden opportunity to gain some ground on the bottom rung of the National League ladder but fell miserably to the Washington Nationals. Jeff and Steve talk about their belief that the Reds cannot falter in one aspect of the game or they will not win. Nick Senzel got picked off first base to end Sunday's game and that serves as a microcosm for the entire season about the Reds losing focus when times are crucial. Hunter Greene pitches tonight against the Arizona Diamondbacks and Madison Bumgarner and the path forward for him is clear: develop the changeup. Greene needs a good start tonight for himself as much as for the Reds to win. And Joey Votto is absolutely on fire right now, hitting the ball well, passing up all-time Reds greats on hitting leaderboards, and cementing his Hall of Fame status.
